Display logic

    I need some special logic so that a number of fields will show up depending on a numeric entry.

    For example the form asks:

    How many pets do you own?
    you enter 3
    now 3 name fields appear for your pets names.

    OR

    How many pets do you own?
    you enter 6
    now 6 name fields appear for your pets names.

    Ideas?

    Hi fuscow - is there an upper bound to the numeric entry?

    If there isn't, then i do not think there is anything straight-forward that can be done with the current version of MachForm.

    If there is an upper bound, then (in theory) you could create a form with the max number of fields, and then using a custom php page use it to invoke the form with specific CSS that will hide the "extra" name fields.

    Just a thought.

    @fuscow: If you don't mind having a limitation on the maximum number of pets that can be registered, you can use conditional logic to get the results you want. Take a look at the online Machform demo for an example:

    To see how this form was created, go to the demo form manager:

    Look for the form "Workshop Registration" tagged "conditional logic demo".
